“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”

“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”

Said the slave to its slavemaster.

Also,

This is really an argument against being “owned by the government” right? At some point, the government will no longer be “fair” but then it’s too late. You are already owned.

“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”

You’re gonna be owned by someone at some point? Huh? Where the hell do these people live?

“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”

Is this my imagination? I don’t remember a political convention, even a Democratic convention, ever being this far out in fringe nutso territory before. It feels to me like we are truly witnessing a meltdown of the left. That they are putting their utter contempt for American values and traditions on display in a way they never before have. And I feel like we may be in for a landslide smackdown of them in November as a result.

My God, George Orwell would be soiling his boxers if he was alive to hear this madness!

“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”

Absolute garbage!

It’s as if these people not only don’t care what America means, what American government is supposed to be, but that they actually eschew American values and would just prefer to submit to anyone willing to “own” them.

Hey, this is great, so if the Republican’s win, all of these people belong to us?

Fantastic, I need someone to do my yard, someone to do the laundry, someone to clean my house…this is working out so much better than I ever imagined.

We can win the election, and take ownership of all the dems…

We need to hold another convention, where all of these guys can sign up for different jobs that we need to have done around the house. I appreciate their commitment to us once we take over the government…they belong to us!!

No, it is not your imagination.

Righties are criticized for lauding that stupid piece of paper written by evil whitey called “The Constitution”. You know, the founding document of the United States of America.

Leftists are shouting about how they are happy to be owned by a government that is meant to be for the people and by the people. They love them some chains.

“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”

Ummmmmm, no?

But I hear Cuba is nice this time of year. North Korea could get a little rainy, though. Check those out and get back to us.

Republican straw clutching. You “belong” to a family, a club, any organized group. For Christ’s sake why don’t you people invest in a dictionary?

LOL nice try. Then what about this gem:

Here, let’s read it again, slowly for you:

“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”

I wonder if they will state this when the evil Romney administration takes over.

I for one cannot wait to hear the howls of anger and despair of the Gimme Slavery but Give Me Birth Control Crowd on Election Day.

And even more, cannot wait then to hear the cries of relief of those who are currently unemployed, in knowing that businesses will very soon be hiring again and that those who want to work, will have jobs again.

It does make sense in a liberal/progressive twisted way. If you are owned by the government, then every dollar you earn is also owned by the government. They assume a right to all of your money and all your stuff. So, to them, cutting taxes really does mean spending more government money rather than letting you keep more of what you earned.

“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”

Creepy, pretty sure though that, in spite of this, that the government is of the people by the people and for the people. The right of self determination in our personal lives and in the direction government should take when acting on our behalf and direction. These folks espousing that video are nutzo cookoo and should be prevented from entering government.

Publicly the DNC and Obama campaign may be backing away from the video but with responses like these from supporters, they may be quite pleased behind the scenes.
How Obama and his officials respond to this IF questioned will tell.
Inch by inch …

WOW!….just wow…..how do you even respond to people who think like that? I just don’t even know where to start….do they realize, or were they even taught, that we fought for our freedom from being vassals of the state in the Revolutionary War, a war we could have just as easily lost? I….uh, I….it….WTF!?!?!?!? Seriously!?!?!?!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I believe that if Obama is reelected it will mark the beginning of the end of the US as a nation of 50 states and mark the beginning of a move to split the country in half.

I refuse to believe that we conservatives will surrender, allow ourselves to become part of the collective, to become hosts to the Democrats’ parasitic voters, to submit to be ruled.

The Left is nothing if not relentless in their goal to “own” us. We must be as ruthless and relentless in our desire to remain free.

“Regardless of where you live, you’re gonna be owned by someone at some point. I think the American government so far has been a fair government and I don’t necessarily hate that I’m owned by them at this point.”

You’re gonna have to serve somebody
It may be the devil
Or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody.

No surprise here this was the FDR methodology from the get go, but with all societies you have the weak. Lucky for us, there are a lot of Strong, Independent People who will not sit back and watch the communist machine roll in and take over. Stand and Fight Back!!!!
